There’s one thing we know for certain about the weather: it can be unpredictable. In recent years, we’ve witnessed record-setting temperatures and storms from coast to coast. People sometimes find themselves thrown into emergency situations, such as tornados and flooding, with very little notice. That’s why it’s important to plan for the worst. Because seniors are more likely to live with health conditions, it’s especially important for them to have a disaster strategy in place.

Summer is a great time of year to enjoy the arts with friends and family. You might attend a music concert in the park with your favorite neighbor or host a craft night for the grandkids during their summer break. Besides being a great way to connect with loved ones, the arts are linked to a variety of mental health benefits.

In our hectic, hyperconnected culture, stress is increasingly common. And chronic stress is linked to a variety of health conditions, including high blood pressure, heart disease, and depression. Equally concerning is the amount of time people are spending on their computers and other electronic devices. It can result in an overly sedentary lifestyle, which can put seniors at risk for cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, obesity, and some forms of cancer.
